Space Systems Command has issued five launch service task orders to United Launch Alliance and another three to SpaceX under the National Security Space Launch Phase 2 contract that the U.S. Space Force awarded in August 2020.

ULA, a joint venture of Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), will use its Vulcan Centaur rocket to provide launch services for GPS III-7, Wideband Global SatCom-11, USSF-23, USSF-43 and USSF-16 missions.

SpaceX will use its Falcon 9 launch vehicle to support three missions: USSF-124, USSF-62 and a Space Development Agency mission in support of the Tranche 1 Transport Layer.
